Independent MP Zali Steggall has called for Balgowlah Golf Course to be “transitioned” into a public space as there is “no shortage” of public golf courses in her electorate of Warringah on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.
‘No shortage of public fields’: Zali Steggall calls for golf course to be ‘transitioned’
Steggall has called for the local golf course to be shut and repurposed for other sports as there are “three public golf courses available” in a “five-kilometre radius”.
“I think that the Telegraph and 2GB are misrepresenting a few things,” Ms Steggall told Sky News Australia.
“The P&C approached me because they were blindsided by a consultation process happening over the school holidays when no one in the school community was there around the plans for the Balgowlah Golf Course.
“That Balgowlah Golf Course has been on notice for four years that it was to be transitioned to public space for all the community to use – and not just playing golfers and sporting fields.
“I’ve obtained an extension to the consultation period, so the whole community can have their say.
“I have no issue with golf, but we have no shortage of public fields.”
